I recently found out that the Firewall-1 product from Sun is actually
written and developed by a company in Israel and that Sun does not have
nor has access to the source code.

I'm afraid that companies may look at the Sun firewall-1 product and
think that Sun has inspected the code for trapdoor and such in the code
that may have put there under orders from the Masad.  In fact, I heard
one person say that in looking at the binary there is very suspicious
code.

It turns out that Sun does not have the source and hasn't inspected it.
 hope that the US military and other sensitive agencies or companies
with sensitive information aren't using this product for protection.

It may be that the Masad has free reign to get into you network!

	Someone very concerned
